Nothing wrong with inheriting wealth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There's nothing per se about inheriting wealth. But:

1) We should be aware that the majority of very wealthy people inherited rather than created that wealth, because there's a narrative that goes around suggesting we shouldn't tax the super-rich as they are the entrepreneurs who drive the economy, create jobs, etc. The truth is that most of the super-rich maintain their wealth through rentiership, which creates monopolistic, anti-innovative, anti-productive pressures in the economy.
2) You seemed quite outraged by the things we saw at the height of the pandemic, including the inequality of outcomes as the poorest sections of the population, often those who delivered the most essential services (medical care, sanitation, provision of food) fell ill and died in disproportionate numbers. This is a reflection of inequality - of the UK's status as one of the most unequal societies in the developed world.

No one is saying we should confiscate the wealth of the super-rich. But a tax system could be designed both to a little bit more redistributive (so that those people doing key jobs can afford to live a less precarious existence, with better workplace safety) and to incentivise innovative exploitation of property rather than rentier capitalism would have us in a much healthier place.

Remember, we had substantially higher economic growth during the post-war years when the political consensus supported relatively higher marginal tax rates and the gap between the rich and poor was very big rather than different galaxies. That's not to argue that the slower average growth since Thatcher's economic revolution is directly caused by the relatively laissez-faire economics we've had since then, but it's hard to argue that relatively higher taxes for the richest automatically = strangling the economy when you look at historical growth vs tax rates.

and Liverpool went from the fringes of the top 4 to champions without blowing the competition out of the water in terms of expenditure.
-----------------------
What? They spent a load of money on Van Dijk, Alisson, Fabinho, Mane, Salah and Keita.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sold to buy unfortunately. Less than 15m net a season since Klopps been there the owners have used of clubs money outside sales.

Who did we blow out the water in spending Wahl? Even gross City Utd Chelsea even Everton spent more. Liverpool have the 4th most expensive squad in the league atm i believe, thats blowing our comp out the water?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That one summer liveroool signed van dijk and alisson they blew everyone out of the water. Just because hey haven’t bought many players since because they have a completed team, doesn’t change that the success was built on that initial huge amount of spending money.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We didn't sign them both in a summer.

Why do you care so much about Liverpool Wahl?

Honest question, you are as bad as the few idiots from the Spurs board who are obsessed with them. Why care?

Our main rivals United are not like this.

It's being run as a business because it is a business. Income has been, and will continue to be reduced because of no gate receipts.
Even as a fan I can see why they don't want to pay that much for him.
The future is hard to read, plus Ole might want more than one player.

Haven't the glaziers took around 30 mill a year out of the club into their pockets? I may be off with my numbers but I do recall seeing an article on it sometime back.

They obviously have the right to do as they please as owners but it's kinda 5hit as a fan when u see money constantly being removed from the club that could be invested in the business....

Liverpool owners may not have put much in but they don't seem to use the club as a cash cow.
Be interested to know if anyone knows if there's truth in this or not

Our first 11 is looking decent enough.

What we need is some relatively decent prices back ups, with potential for development.

We have next to no rest before the season starts and just signing Sancho won't help the likes of Bruno Pogba rashford get some rest, some after long term lay offs due to injury.

This season will depend on rotation and fitness for us. If 100m gets us 3/4 30m type signings then I for one would happily forget about signing Sancho
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a very good point actually proved correct by the managers reluctance to start squad players like Mata. Pereira, Lingard etc.

posted on 20/8/20

OK so Google is my friend!

In the last 10 years city's owners have put in over a billion from their own pocket, the glaziers have removed 800 million 😲

Problem servicing debt/dividends but damn... something like 30% spent on the squad which, as this article shows, compared to their rivals theyre left in the dust.

When you take into account debt repayments, debt refinancing costs and dividend payments, it’s actually over £60m gross per season they’ve cost the club.

So blown out the water Cities squad cost over 300 million more than ours. So blown out the water Utds and Chelseas cost more than ours, so blown out the water that Arsenals n Evertons probably arent far off ours.

Im not sure how anyone can claim we blew anyone out the water when it comes to spending.

posted on 20/8/20

those are all our transfers for the 17/18 and 18/19 transfers seasons, 4 windows.

Utd also signed Sanchez 30m (transfermrket) valuation of mkhi think he cost 24m Lindelof 32m matic 40m and lukaku 90m

city spent 285m in 17/18 and 70m in 18/19

so again, they outspent us? hows that us blowing our competition out the water? Also only one team out of the 3 lost our best player.
